"Never were sufficient? Prove it. What's the evidence?"

Prove the status quo is good enough for everyone, prove that it is ideal, prove that it is enjoyable, that it is beautiful, desirable. I think you'll find this is impossible. Design is subjective in many ways, as I'm sure you well know, we work off of our experience, off of best practices, off copying and stealing where appropriate. You could say the burden of proof is on the agent of change, or you could be open to change, and not demand proof, but rather seek to see how it affects users in the end, it is a rather small change, and everyone is devoting quite a lot of energy to it, for better or worse.  

Honestly I don't know if you will be swayed one way or another from your current decision, but I do know that we can't please everyone, we aren't now, and we never will, we can continue to educate, discuss, and try to reach consensus, which is what we will always strive for.  

Proving that the status quo is enough is impossible. The saying goes that the burden of proof is on the agent of change because the only thing you can do is assume that the status quo is enough but try to prove otherwise. And when you succeed in proving that it isn't enough, you then address the issues that were that proof.

I want to know what these issues are that are being addressed, and I want to know why they are issues.

I won't ever be swayed if nobody answers that. How could I possibly be?
